It's a potential quasar. It's just that there's not much accretion happening right "now". And it does occasionally flare.[0] Also, I don't believe that we have the data to exclude the possibility that something big is heading inward. We only see stuff that's close enough to get hot enough. But of course, given that we're near the galactic plane, neither jet points at us. And although, as I recall, the jets are somewhat off-axis, they're not off in our direction. 0) https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.09896
